Leah Pickett Chicago Reader The most effective scenes involve the main characters, a young nurse and a conscience-stricken lieutenant, calling out the hypocrisy inherent in the more brutish soldiers' actions. Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Justin Lowe Hollywood Reporter With a cast largely unknown beyond Portuguese-speaking audiences, Azevedo relies on universal themes of survival, dignity and honor to convey a powerful narrative of hope and regeneration.

Audience Member The movie is boring, preety boring. The history comes along in a very tedious way. There are 2 sides, one that wants liberty and freedom in the country, and the other wants to repress and control. The end of the movie doesn't tell anything, It leaves the history open to imagination, and that's not a problme. The problem is that the movie can't cativate me to like It, want o watch It again, or regardless, recomend it to somebody... I think I lost my time watching It. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
